That does make sense, thanks for posting up. I'll have to take another look at it when I get back from vacation and see if I can get the flag nuts put in. Thanks!

Looks good in my opinion. It's how I run anyway. Here's a pic but it does have EVO d-ring mounts installed and lights on top. Hopefully, it'll give you an idea of things.
I think benatc1 might have more of what you're wanting to see.
Ok now my question is, do you guys have the rear lights wired to a rear light only switch? Or have them hooked to an existing one?

I know you've gotten a lot of pics already, but just throwing my :twocents:
Bumperless and was planning to try and make a fascia...
I ended up just buying the EVO fascia and painted the pinch seam black. (I had the d-ring mounts in before the fascia. I can confirm what others said...it's not easy to remove/re-install those. I did trim my frame rails once I had the EVO fascia.
Poser shot of the current setup
The black VHT frame and chassis paint is great for the pinch seam and other touchups, if you haven't heard.

I think he's referring to your first ever post here being somewhat bashy, something along the lines of "not my cup of tea" and then posting a link to a product.
First posts that aren't introductory, usually don't sit well here.

Not much of a project. Its literally 5 min to remove the rear bumper. A nice look for a 5 min job. I like the roughneck off road look of it.

I had it made. First hinrich made me one but it was to short once I got the tire carrier. Then had it made by another friend of mine who is a welder. Here's another pic for you

Thanks guys, thanks to this thread I had to take the plunge. Now I have to get some D rings maybe a facia and degreaser and clean up frame. I also like the look of the painted pinch seam..
Im digging it !!
Not to highjack the thread...... although Evos, kit is nice, it is costly, any other options out there for the frame mounted D rings?
Secondly, Now with no bumper I think the license plate has to move. My 3rd brake light is in the center cap of the spare so that mount is out. Besides that spot where are you all mounting your plate and how do you move the plate light to it considering its position on the non hinge side of the tailgate.

That's cool man.... Ill have to see if I can find someone to make me one....
Would be cool if someone started making them for sale, the size and measuring and angle might be an issue since everyones setup is different but Id bet there would be a market for it.

It would be cool but as you said it's always going to be different per application. You can have someone make it really cheap for you. My friend only charged me $15 for the steel and the 15 mins it took him to measure, cut, and weld it. I couldn't complain

Does anyone have any experience with these Olympic 4X4 Shackle mounts and facia?

Those shackle mounts look scary thin. Don't think I would risk it to save less then 100 dollars.

I thought the same thing. I didn't see anything on their website but on the Amazon listing it says "requires 80,000 pf pressure to bend". What the heck does that mean? Is "pf" supposed to be pounds force (normally lbf)? If so, it's not a pressure.
I didn't know if anyone had any first hand experience with them. You can get the facia and shackle mounts for $163 vs $340 for the Evo facia and mounts. I know how awesome Evo's quality is. I'll probably just save a little more and do that.

out of curiosity-how are the welds on your tailgate doing with that big tire on the stock carrier?

Well shit, I just opened my box from EVO to reveal they didn't send me the D ring mounts. All I got was the fascia. I'm assuming I need the D ring mounts to install the fascia or am I wrong!l?

You don't have to have D ring mounts for the fascia
But, I'd wait, order the D ring mounts, and do it all at once

Thing is, I did order the D ring mounts. I ordered them as the package. Must've either gotten lost or didn't ship. Gotta wait until Monday to find out now. [emoji45]
